I guess this is turning into a pointless argument lol but note the arrow to downtown being on a freeway. It's sort of hard to be in downtown when you're on a freeway, innit? Plus you're looking at Alameda Street, which is also downtown.....

Alameda isn't only downtown though. It travels south through USC and University Park, down into Compton.

I can see the argument for chinatown being considered downtown, but for many reasons I think it's just wrong. Different maps I've found give different demarcations for the area, from Downtown to Chinatown to LA Metropolitan Center to Elysian Park, so I'll concede that the argument is there.

Re: FYF Fest 2013

I mean.... Pomona is Los Angeles. Long Beach is Los Angeles. It's a big place. I'd consider anything within two miles of downtown to still be downtown, regardless of district. It's probably not a debate worth us googling against each other, but it is a somewhat interesting topic lol

You really want to consider Pomona, L.A.? Technically it is due to county borders, but shit dude, its a 909 area code. So yeah, youre kinda fucked here. And its on the border, so thats really stretching it.

This is an interesting topic because dumbfucks like you, live in a shitty city that considers itself ''nice''. So when you hear ''downtown los angeles'' you think its fucking dirty.

Re: FYF Fest 2013

Now that the Coachella lineup is out, I wonder who will carry over to FYF this year.
Seeing as how they pulled M83, Refused, and Beirut last year, I think a lot of the undercard is fair game for FYF, of course, depending on band schedules.

You're not alone on that.
At the end of his set, he mentioned that he'd be returning to do new album stuff... so I HOPE that remains true

Moreso than Coachella itself, you can tell a lot from the bands that are showing up at multiple festivals. FYF actually had more in common with Primavera (which also got M83, Refused, and Beirut) last year. So now that we have both Coachella and Primavera lineups, you can see who is on both and it will give you a pretty good idea of who will be showing up at a lot of the festivals throughout the year.

Re: FYF Fest 2013

I could see My Bloody Valentine at fyf more fitting than Coachella also. Pomona is becoming a way more "nicer" of an place than it has been in probably decades with the fox renovation,new clubs,and slowly better bars...as well the upcoming renovation and merge of acerogami and the glass house.Just because the traffic is awful for an Los Angelian to make it out there I really wish you guys could see that its really one of our only spots to see great music ..not including The Fox(riverside),The Barn, or my favorite Pappy and Harriets.I just get really offended by the consantly being knock down about the IE OR Southern California in general.

Re: FYF Fest 2013

just a friendly reminder that FYF is promoting an upcoming schlomo show, so I think he's on this year's bill. Also, they put out another tweet saying how much they loved a song by Jawbreaker....is it happening?

Re: FYF Fest 2013

They do stuff like that all throughout the year. If they promote a show I'd say it almost makes that act less likely to play the festival, as they were brought to Los Angeles by FYF. Sean uses the FYF facebook just to talk about music for large parts of the year, so don't expect that what he posts will correlate with who plays the fest.

Re: FYF Fest 2013

Working off a wild theory, but would be very exciting if true.. so here it is. Sigur Ros isn't playing in any LA area venues outside of their appearance at Coachella. They're not playing in Portland. They ARE playing in Seattle at Sasquatch fest. They don't have any other tour dates currently set in August except for the 30th and 31st in which they will be playing in England. Doesn't seem like 5 or 6 days (depending) would be to much time to travel to England. More to the point, I could see them skipping Portland if they planned on coming back for Portland's MusicFest NW in the fall which, judging from last year line up, shares many of the same artists featured in FYF's line up... might be a long shot, but I can dream. haha
